Kimberley I hardly find unattractive. She has very different facial features than the other girls and sort of sticks out because of it. Many people tend to find her unattractive as you said, so how does that make it any better for you to find her ugly than for me to find Nicola unattractive? Usually I just dislike Nicola's hair greatly, and her personality turns me off from her because I find her to be annoying in comparison to the others.

I meant "totally shallow" as in not music or news-related. I was just referring to how often and on how many boards Nicola gets automatically referred to as the ugly one. She's even talked about it in interviews, about how she's in the group with these four gorgeous women. I personally think Kimberley is unattractive but I haven't really run into that opinion elsewhere and it's not a constant feature in coverage about her like Nicola's looks are. I feel sorry for her, because I just don't see her as being so far below the other girls that it would justify such press about her appearance. Nadine, Cheryl and Sarah have looks of the type that is generally seem as pretty/hot so I'd understand (but still think it a real shame) if Nicola got the ugly press for being in a four-girl group with them. But since Kimberley is not as conventionally pretty as those three, I'm surprised that Nicola has ended up being almost always a joke. I don't have anything against someone liking her the least (I'm sure I like some people whose looks others would call bad), but I think it's sad that she must always be called the Ugly One in tabloid articles and gossip site news. That has to be tough to bear, especially since it's not bad press for her behaviour or something other that she would really be able to change or be responsible for.
